When on High. Dark sorcery and long-buried secrets. $2.99

[Marcin Wrona]

War has returned to conquered Ekka. At its heart, a sorcerer promises victory and, at last, freedom from oppression. All he asks in return is a throne.

Hidden in the salt marsh, a banned cult hatches its own plots. Gemeti, daughter of a dying priestess, has few allies. If she is to a win a throne of her own, she will need support from all the wrong people.

Rimush has good reason to distrust Ekka's would-be liberator. His own hands are not so clean. If he is to blunt war's blade, he must journey into the very heart of the invader's empire, and convince the sun not to rise.

Ekka's future hangs in the balance. War has returned.

What is it?
Historical fantasy, inspired by ancient Mesopotamia under Persian rule. This book is part of a series of three stand-alone but related novels, with each building on the events of the last.

In what order are the books presented?
Pale Queen's Courtyard
Golden Feathers Falling
When On High

Who will they appeal to?
Readers looking for a character-driven tale in a land of ziggurats and great rivers.

Should I read the other novels first?
All are stand-alone novels, and you'll be able to enjoy When on High without going back to read the others. However, this book makes reference to some of the events of the previous novels, and it reveals some of their plot elements.

Short answer: Yes, probably. But you don't have to.

Who are you?
I'm a Polish-born Canadian author, a multiple immigrant, a mustachio-twirling financier, and many other things besides. I live and work in Toronto.

'When on High' is a translation of the first line of the Enuma Elish, the Babylonian creation myth, and this novel draws on some of the elements of that great old tale (of which, unfortunately, we have fragmentary remains). Read, and see if you can spot the parallels!
